<p>Languages we might want to add to the list in the survey:</p>
<ul>
<li>Typescript</li>
<li>R</li>

<li>Julia</li>

<p>Where were you proposed to add these languages, <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="198276">@Ludwig Stecher</span>? I know we must have included <code>R</code> at least <em>somewhere</em> because I remember there was a surprisingly large number of users who requested interop with R last year</p>

<p>Anyway I'm not opposed but I'm kind of short on time to make edits myself</p>

<p>I also added those languages to the list for zh-hant translation; it sounds good to me to add more popular languages to see if other lang community will want more interoperability with Rust or so <span aria-label="eyes" class="emoji emoji-1f440" role="img" title="eyes">:eyes:</span></p>

<p>I guess this implies that the other polls should adapt and add them, too. It would probably feel unbalanced to have some options in only one poll version. While adding popular languages is a good idea, I'm not not sure we had bandwidth for even such small changes.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think at this point we definitely don't. We should try to keep them synchronized.</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116673">@CYBAI</span> maybe you can remove those languages and we can record this as a suggestion for Rust 2021 survey? (Which I hope to start planning much sooner...)</p>

<p>yes, it would be weird to add it for only one poll so I added them to all related polls <span aria-label="joy" class="emoji emoji-1f602" role="img" title="joy">:joy:</span></p>
<p>Bu yeah, I think it should be better to sync with other translations; if only one translation adds those languages into polls, it might be hard for the core team to analyze the survey. so I will remove them later, thanks for the confirmation! <span aria-label="bow" class="emoji emoji-1f647" role="img" title="bow">:bow:</span>‍♂️</p>
